Japanese Knot weed

I hope this is not the dreaded Japanese Knot Weed.

It is not growing particularly quickly nor has it sprouted from those asparagus like shoots.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have knotweed in my yard and yes, that looks like what you have. It's in my yard on purpose, because it is not invasive here. Not sure where you are but it could be a nuisance in some areas.

I just went out and looked at mine for comparison and it matches your picture pretty closely ~ sorry!

Oh, and welcome!!

Thank you very much....The thing with this bit of Knot weed is that it has not grown much in a month. In the UK it does tend to be highly invasive, fast growing (very) type so my little bit does not seem to follow those rules. This is why I am a little confused.

Thank you for your welcome!
